See

Most UEFI implementations provide BIOS emulation so you can choose to install and boot old operating systems that expect a BIOS instead of UEFI, so they’re backwards compatible.

If you really have UEFI only (coming one day, but most systems today have a "legacy" option), then you can first load a hypervisor, and then load SME server in a VM.
